Whole 30 Mango Habanero Salsa

Sweet, ripe mango meets fiery minced habanero in this bright, chunky salsa, balanced out with crisp red onion and red bell pepper for texture in every scoop. A generous squeeze of fresh lime juice and a handful of chopped cilantro keep it tasting fresh and vibrant, while a touch of cumin adds a warm, earthy note underneath the heat. Everything gets stirred together and left to rest for just fifteen minutes, giving the flavors time to meld into something bright, spicy, and totally craveable. It's a whole-foods, produce-driven condiment with nothing processed weighing it down, which makes it an easy win for a Whole30 kitchen. Spoon it over grilled chicken or fish, or eat it straight off a spoon — either way, it's the kind of fresh salsa that disappears fast.

1–2 habanero peppers, seeds and ribs removed, finely minced
½ small red onion, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp ground cumin (optional)

Instructions

1
Wearing gloves or washing your hands immediately after, mince the habanero pepper as finely as possible — the smaller the pieces, the more evenly the heat distributes through the salsa. Start with 1 pepper if you prefer moderate heat, or use 2 for a fiery result.
2
Combine the diced mango, minced habanero, red onion, and red bell pepper in a mixing bowl.
